AndyinLiverpool Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Another new formation? Really? So much for a settled sideYou don't really expect an answer to that, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSC Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Not convinced if it is a flat 442. Think its dated. Would be delighted to be proved wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RESS511 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Might be 4-2-3-1 with Martin in the hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Maybe it's the 4-4-2 Brazil have played in recent years. 2 deep central midfielders and the wide players pushed on a little bit.Can't see Baird or Thorne supporting the front 2 that much.Which could also be pretty much a 4-2-3-1 if Martin drops deeper behind Bent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You don't really expect an answer to that, do you?I was referring to the formation rather than the personal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Well no. We played 60 mins in the 4231 against Boro. Why not stick to it? Not really an awful lot different. Thorne & Baird will hold, the other 4 will attack.I highly doubt it'll be a flat 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 We need good balls into bent tonight, this formation will produce naff all if he gets no service and we play sideways and backwards all game, be interesting to see how the back four get on with Christie and Forsyth back in. Cyrus needs a good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hopefully it's 4231 with Martin in the 3. Got a feeling it will be flat 442. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hopefully it's 4231 with Martin in the 3. Got a feeling it will be flat 442. Martin won't be happy staying up top keeping Bent company if they are not getting the ball. Ince and Russell are also not the type of plays to stay out wide, they will come in more allowing space for Christie and Forsyth to get forward. I'm liking this, think it can work with the current injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Sky think it's a flat 4-4-2 we will struggle to create I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Disappointed to have Baird playing over Dawkins in midfield, despite knowing it would obviously happen that way.Dawkins gives you more chance of dominating possession.Still hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 This is the team to get us our first 3 points of many,very confident in a 2-0 victory to the mighty Rams scores Bent and Ince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've got a horrible feeling about tonight, Birmingham will be much fresher than us and Rowett will have them well up for this game. I fear that the players won't know their roles in this 4-4-2 and Birmingham will get in behind us to easily. We need our big players tonight, more than ever!

I'm liking this, think it can work with the current injuries.Hope so because that central midfield isn't full of attacking threat. It could end up going side to side more than neccessary. In deep areas too considering the midfield 2 are defensive minded.Soon find out. Bloody injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I wondr if Bent has a clause inserted into his contract stating he must play X amount of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 It's not going to be flat, don't be silly. Russell and Ince only have themselves to blame if they don't push forward and Martin only has himself to blame if he doesn't drop back a little to collect the ball. So practically 4-2-3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So practically 4-2-3-1I would hope so. He's just pulled out a few surprises has Mr Clement. Expected Warnock v Charlton and then off the back of Forsyth's performance expected Forsyth v Boro. It's Forsyth tonight and just when you think Shotton is preferred over Christie...Diamond, 4231, 442...Not complaining. Just keeps you guessing. Flat 442 died with Alex Ferguson. Best wingers money could buy. Best attacking midfielder and holding midfielder money could buy. Best poacher money could buy. Still be doing it now if Chel$ea and Co hadn't come along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
